Hello all,
For those of you staying at camp scholler or sleepy hollow campground, how do you plan on getting to Sonex open house on Sunday? Wife and I could use a lift, It's a long walk.. We used to tow our bug but for a number of reasons , not this trip.
Thanks and safe flying ( or driving )

Uber was available last year. I'm sure both Lyft and Uber will be this year. Good way for the local folk to make some coin.

I'll arrive Friday or Saturday, stay at 7th heaven with Wayne til Monday, then move over to homebuilt camping Monday afternoon. I plan to be at Wayne's Wednesday night for the party and airshow. Might try to record a podcast in the campground one evening (Tuesday?) with John Gillis and Mike Neidenthal. Anyone interested in participating is welcome to stop by (pm or email to get on the contact list when we pin it down).

Save us a couple of spots in HBC if you can. Otherwise we will be parked way out in the boonies.

Arriving Sunday and staying until Saturday afternoon. Staying at Camp Scholler in camper. Will be driving over to 7th heaven for Wednesday evening show and BBQ. Anyone that wants a ride we have a pick up and can carry in the bed of the truck. Maybe even have a Traverse with only a driver heading over, depends if mother-in-law joins the group.

My intention is to arrive Saturday. At this point, my lodging plans are all over the map. Have some friends coming in Tuesday and camping in the North 40. May try and wedge a tent in #600 and try HBC or stay with some locals till Tuesday. Two weeks out and I still don't know what I'm doing.

Been talking to some local friends and they're telling me the rain has been ridiculous. I'm starting to get concerned that space may be limited by if it keeps up. Plan accordingly.

Hi Glen,

Due to family medical issues I won't be attending Airventure this year.

I have a room rented from Saturday to Thursday in a house in Oshkosh with Sonex enthusiasts Max, Peter and Mike.

It is available for someone just take over ~$430 payment.

PM me if interested.
